You can get the links to BBC Radio "listen live" though and add them to
Realplayer. Over WLAN, the sound quality is as good, if not better than
DAB.
Slower connections will either not work at all or, have to buffer a lot.

Hi Matt,
Wrong again. The N82 is an FP1 (Feature Pack 1) phone and the N96 is an FP2
phone, so they are not the same.
Also, there are 16GB cards out now, and soon to come 32GB cards. When that
happens we can tip the 40GB barrier with the N96, whereas iPods storage is
static, you ccan't add to it.
Getting back to the original point though, I don't think Talks is to blame
if it doesn't work with the BBC iPlayer, it may do one day, but there are
millions of Symbian apps that Talks probably doesn't work with and I just
don't think iPlayer is important in the grand scheme of things. But that,
of course, is just my opinion.
All the best
Steve

Steve, considering the average Ipod has a 40GB harddrive these days, I'd say
the N96 storage is more like the IPhone rather than an IPod?
As to the features, I don't think it has much that my N82 doesn't have in
all fairness, they are same generation phones after all.
I should also point out that I went through 5! Yes, 5! New N95's from
T-mobile, every single one faulty out of the box! And I understand other
people had faulty models as well! Both the N95 8GB and the N96 are built
along very similar lines.
The N97 on the other hand, is a candy-bar phone so much less moving parts
etc.
By the way, the N97 does have a proper qwerty keyboard.
